Last time this happened to me I noticed the speedo cable (near/on the rear brake caliper where the speed sensor is) had come out of it's little protective fairing where it is routed with the rear brake hose and had burned/melted on the exhaust creating a little short circuit.
I rerouted the cable back into the fairing and all seems well.

Dakar, this is a real common problem with the sensor, Its located on thr brake carrier so gets a lot of action, I replaced mine just before selling it. What your seeing are the typical symptoms
It will go completely soon so keep a look out on Gaybay for one.
Take a deep breath cos there pricey mind

Yep, probably the sensor. Mine read erratically before packing up completely. New one sorted it, rrp is about 70 quid but I got a new one for £47 off ebay.

they are a little pricey but readily available dude no worries!!
hope this helps

PS...When you get one, slap a bit of silicone around the rubber boot where the wires enter as in Aprilias wisdom that's not moulded hence letting water in..Had no trouble since doing that with mine 2 years ago..
